Pravia to Ribadeo

Despite the lack of eating options, Pravia was a delight. Here's the view as we were getting up:

It had been Chris' birthday yesterday and his final surprise was for one of other friends to join us for the second half of the trip. Here we all are, including Simon number 2:

The roads were a bit small and winding so we just found somewhere to pull over for "second breakfast":

Then the day took a turn - we were heading for our hotel when we had a call for assistance; Ian's bike had a problem. A search for a bike shop ensued!

Unfortunately the part required was too unusual to be in stock but after 4 bike shops (and a little confusion over hotel location) we arrived to a lovely view:
